Statement

My practice explores abstraction as a way of understanding both the natural world and the complexities of human experience. Inspired by shifting environments, emotional states, memory, and perception, my work seeks to create its own evolving narrative — one that exists between observation and intuition.

Nature provides an endless source of movement, rhythm, and transformation. Coastal landscapes, changing light, organic forms, atmosphere, and the emotional weight of lived experience all inform my visual language. Rather than representing these elements directly, I reinterpret them through layered abstraction, allowing colour, gesture, texture, and fluidity to guide the process.

Working intuitively, I build surfaces through multiple suspended layers of pigment, creating spaces where forms emerge, dissolve, and reconnect. I am drawn to the balance between control and unpredictability —the tension between chaos and restraint — and the freedom abstraction offers to explore emotion beyond literal representation.

Colour has always remained central to my practice. Since my earliest years of painting, through university and into my current work, colour has become both structure and language: a way to communicate atmosphere, sensation, and emotional resonance. This exploration extends into my clay works, where materiality, surface, and form continue the same search for expressive and sensory connection.

Across both painting and sculpture, my work invites moments of reflection, openness, and transformation— spaces where the physical and emotional landscapes become intertwined.
